Both recipes I have found on Internet stated to bake for 45 mins to 1 hr…baked mine for nearly and hour and a half and still wet in the middle!. ..am demented….should I just abandon ship and carve a shape from 2 regular sponges instead?….was trying to make life easy….made it worse! …HELP !!!!!!

I use a recipe from Lindy Smith. Never had a problem. I have the 5in ball tin, and make a batter for a 6in round cake. And bake for between 45mins and an hour and a quarter. Hope that helps. Good luck
Hi Mrscloudy1

I’ve only used the Wilton 6 inch ball tin. Just a hobby baker but find the Debbie brown 5 egg Madeira recipe works well for this. Also don’t fill the tin to the top, leave about an inch and put an indent with the back of the spoon into the middle of the mixture and it’ll bake more evenly and level out. You may already know this, sorry if sounds patronising. Good luck xx
